What one to get?

HI...I've been a vintage Rolex fan and thought it would be nice to try something different. Been thinking of trading a 5513 for a Pan.

What do you think I should start with?

Go for the PAM 276

Okay seriously, which style do you like Radiomir, Luminor? Do you want chrono? Lots of options to consider.

5513 is around USD 5k right now. You can get many models with that cash.
With extra dollars you can get 312. For now 312 is hot item.

If you like vintage, try looking at the 210, or 232. Two handers that reek vintage.

There are tons of models however, just look around for a bit and take your time. I'd just start by looking on Panerai.com

Go to an AD and see which model you like the best in person. If it is within your budget, then great, buy it. If it is not pick up a catalog and see which one calls you.
